    Andrew, I had a few requests by PM and tried to send it out by email but the files are just too big. Instead I posted that on Dropbox. You can download it here:

    Outer Slices
    and

    Inner Slices

    Both Vcarve files contain a shallow surface cut that I do with a down-spiral bit and a through-cut with tabs that I do with an upcut bit. In this specific application the surface cut is probably not required because gluing together will not be perfect and it needs to be skimmed anyway.

    I would suggest trying the fit with a pair of slices. I did not add any allowance and on my machine the bit deflection for conventional milling direction will give just enough clearance for a good glue gap. Your Mileage Will Vary....

    Very clever. I found this, might be helpful for the bearing race. You have inspired my interest for some cool xmas gifts.

    I love that web site, lots of wild ideas. Even more admirable as most of these gadgets are made by hand or with simple power tools.

    I the meantime I finished that thing. Looks nice to me, although my wife noticed the open bearing race may make it a bit unpractical due to food scraps falling in. Oh well.

    I hope you learned a valuable lesson here....always pass your design ideas past the the boss so she can tell you where you are wrong first!

    I think it looks great, you did a good job of fitting things together really well

    Here's an inexpensive solution to keeping it clean and I think you can put it in the dish washer. Try clear door bumpers from Big Box to keep it in place.
